On February 21, 2025, Dubai-based cryptocurrency exchange Bybit experienced a significant security breach, resulting in the theft of approximately $1.5 billion worth of Ethereum ($ETH ). This incident is considered one of the largest in the history of cryptocurrency thefts.
Details of the Breach
The attack occurred during a routine transfer from one of Bybit's cold wallets to a warm wallet. The perpetrator manipulated the transaction interface, gaining control over the cold wallet and transferring around 401,000 ETH to an unidentified address. Bybit's CEO, Ben Zhou, confirmed the breach, stating that the attacker exploited a "masked" user interface and URL, deceiving wallet signers into approving a malicious transaction. This manipulation altered the smart contract logic, granting the attacker control over the wallet's contents.
Immediate Response and Assurances
In the aftermath of the breach, Bybit assured its users that all client assets remain secure and fully backed. The exchange processed over 350,000 withdrawal requests promptly, emphasizing its commitment to maintaining operational integrity. Despite the substantial loss, Zhou emphasized that Bybit remains solvent and capable of absorbing the financial impact without compromising user funds.
Ongoing Investigation
Bybit is actively collaborating with blockchain forensic experts and authorities to trace and recover the stolen funds. Preliminary analyses suggest that the attack may be linked to North Korean hacker groups, known for previous large-scale cryptocurrency thefts. The stolen ETH is reportedly being moved to new addresses, complicating recovery efforts.
Industry Implications
This breach underscores the persistent security challenges within the cryptocurrency sector. In 2024 alone, approximately $2.2 billion was stolen from various crypto platforms, highlighting the need for enhanced security measures. The Bybit incident serves as a stark reminder for exchanges and users alike to prioritize robust security protocols to safeguard digital assets.
As the investigation continues, the cryptocurrency community remains vigilant, awaiting further updates on the situation and potential measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

And again a hack and no one is surprised anymore. This time, the crypto project World Liberty Financial ( $WLFI ), linked to Donald Trump and his family, was hit.
It turns out that the reason was a recent 'gift' for hackers — the Ethereum EIP-7702 update (part of the Pectra upgrade). According to researchers from SlowMist, this update, which was supposed to make life easier for crypto users, instead created the perfect loophole for token theft.

Slumist’s Q3 2024 report on cryptocurrency theft reveals a decline in overall theft incidents. However, the report highlights a rise in sophisticated phishing attempts, which often involve advanced social engineering tactics.
One worrying trend is that sponsored search results can lead to fraudulent links. However, the most common thefts are simpler, resulting from key leaks.

The network faced the largest attack in its ecosystem: the decentralized protocol Cetus was hacked, resulting in the attackers managing to withdraw over $200 million. Earlier reports indicated losses of $11 million. According to PeckShield and MistTrack, part of the stolen funds — about $60 million — has already been transferred to the network through a cross-chain application. The remaining amount is still being distributed through various channels, including DEXs and mixers.
